Benefits of using IEL

1. Desktop access, reducing research time and costs

2. Less administration for information centers/librarians and savings on document delivery services

3. No storage required

4. Active archive at the desktop (from 1952)

5. Rapid access to the newest research worldwide (even before print)

6. Provides perspective of knowledgeable and experienced experts from industry and academia

7. Standards stimulate technology, innovation and creation: demonstrates how using standards in the R&D process is an investment in the success of a product or service
